Well, the chain gets even more complicated:

Malcolm X to Louis Farrakhan to Rev. Wright to Obama. Of course there are several disconnects in the chain but why should that trouble anyone who wants to make a case against Obama or anyone else for that matter. Hell, I even lived in the same city where Malcolm X spent his teenaged years: Lansing, Michigan.

And my father gave up on his religion way back when his rabbi refused to recommend him for application to City College; the rabbi said he'd be wasting his time and should help his family run his store. Father disagreed and made it through college anyway, graduating with two degrees, one in philosophy and one in accounting; both proved useful.
